Parliament has duty to Protect Unborn Children and their Mothers from the violence of abortion.The Prime Minister, Jacinda Ardern states that we should “know us by Our Deeds”

The Prime Minister is correct, we do know her by her deeds. As our appointed leader she and her government’s most important duty is to protect the right to life of every New Zealander from conception to natural death. Those MPs who betray that duty forfeit their right to sit in our Parliament. At the next election she and her government will be judged on the way they have protected the most vulnerable in our community. Today the most vulnerable in our community are our unborn. Tragically today the most dangerous place for a New Zealander is in its mother’s womb.

Every day in New Zealand an estimated 35 unborn children in potentially normal pregnancies are taken to Public Hospitals and abortion clinics to be violently murdered, authorised and funded by her Labour led government.

The law of God is written in the hearts of man. It is the commandment of our Creator, that we should not kill. The total prohibition of the killing of an innocent human being is the foundation of the law and of medicine. We violate this commandment at our peril. Why then is it the wish of our Prime Minister that we pretend that it is no longer a crime to kill an unborn child? It is her wish supported by the Minister of Justice that the killing of a child in the womb be “a reproductive choice for women.”

This is a grave injustice, no government has authority to repeal a commandment of our Creator. The Prime Minister should be aware that she is in danger of calling down the wrath of God on our nation by challenging the authority of God.

Right to Life requests that Members of Parliament uphold this commandment by defending the lives of our unborn children by voting against the anti-women and anti-life government Abortion Legislation Bill at its second reading.

There will be a general election in September and those Members of Parliament who choose to support the Abortion Legislation Bill at its second reading should expect many in the electorate to withhold electoral support for them.

Right to Life believes that the government’s Abortion Legislation bill violates Article three, “The protection of the Crown” of the Treaty of Waitangi.

This bill was presented to Parliament by the Minister of Justice at the direction of the Prime Minister.

The Minister Andrew Little, in introducing the Abortion Legislation Bill to Parliament on the 8th August said;

“I reject the notion that abortion entailed killing another human being and I accept on legal and on moral grounds that human rights do not accrue until human life is possible.”

This deplorable statement by the Minister is deeply offensive and insulting to women. He claims that the unborn child, an unrepeatable miracle of God’s creation, is not a human being and has no right to life.

The Crimes Act section 182 Killing an unborn child, upholds the right of the unborn child to be born. This is a human right that is universal and inalienable. It is a serious crime to kill an unborn child and on conviction an offender may be imprisoned for up to 14 years.

The Treaty was signed on 6 February 1840. Article Three of the Treaty provides for Maori the protection of the Crown and the law of England. Protection for Maori was provide by the Offences against the Persons Act 1837, which protected the right to life of every human being from implantation to natural death. Section Six of this Act prohibited the killing of an unborn child in an abortion. Under this Act the right of Maori to be born was upheld and the killing of the unborn child by abortion was prohibited.

The Labour led government acting as the Crown, is now proposing under the Abortion Legislation Bill to withdraw the protection of the Crown for the lives of unborn children. Under this legislation it would no longer be a crime to kill an unborn child in an abortion. It is Jacinda Ardern’s intention to decriminalise abortion and to make the killing of the unborn “a reproductive choice for women.” Right to Life believes that this Abortion Bill is both anti-life and anti-women. This bill constitutes an unprecedented attack on the Treaty, a violation of human rights, and a betrayal of Maori. The government has no mandate from the electorate or from Maori for this indefensible attack on women and their precious unborn.

Right to Life laments that the Prime Minister, Jacinda Ardern has departed from the founding principles of the once great Labour Party of Michael Joseph Savage and Norman Kirk to protect the weak and the marginalised in society. Today the unborn child is the weakest and most defenceless member of the human family and desperately needs effective legal protection for its right to life.

“Every Democrat, like every American, should support a woman’s right to make her own choices about her body and her health,” Democratic National Committee Chairman Tom Perez is now demanding conformity from his party members on the issue of abortion, claiming that “every Democrat” must support a woman’s right to terminate her unborn child and promising to only support Democratic candidates who line up on his side of this ideological aisle.
